Day 10: Reno, NV to Klamath Falls, OR (370 miles)
Leaving Reno in the brisk morning hours we headed through the Lassen National Forest, the most aromatic stretch of road we've taken yet. The Ponderosa Pines and wild flowers were almost overwhelming. We spent nearly two hours in the Lassen Volcanic National Park riding the windy roads and taking pictures. The morning ride offered perfect temperatures but once we left the mountain heading toward Redding we encountered a blast furnace
and experienced our first truly extended hot day.

One of the many dealership sponsored dinners held for the Posse Riders. This one was at Upper Klamath Lake and the food was super!
